Trying to find his parents. We don't know where Kay, Dollie and Robert were born.

I wonder:

Births Mar 1914
FIDLER Robert W -Graham Sunderland 10a 1444

Robert Graham Watson :) I would expect Graham or Watson to be his mother's maiden name.

No mention of Alfred or George so perhaps not this family:

Births Mar 1912
Fidler Alfred E -Graham Sunderland 10a 1380

Births Sep 1917
Fidler George M -Graham Sunderland 10a 1042

This would be the marriage but I don't think it helps:

Marriages Jun 1909
FIDLER Alfred Ernest Sunderland 10a 1115
GRAHAM Margaret Sunderland 10a 1115

I had a Fidler on my family tree but i gave him the elbow.

http://www.awm.gov.au/research/people/roll_of_honour/person.asp?p=576643

Maybe his older brother.........or his father even.
Thanks, Lee. I'll do some checking.

That's curious. Entering Service No 1645A gets no hits and entering 1645 on Embarkation Roll gets 50 hits but not one is a Thomas FIDLER.

There is an error on the web site - 1646 but the original Nominal Roll has 1645:

Thomas age 29 joined 24 Jan 1916 Living in Perth, WA - Religion RC - father living at "The Retreat" Brentford, Middlesex

Regards,

Dave

Yes, Lee, later that same year.

We still don't know where Robert, Dollie and Kay were born who who the parents are.

On #1 post on here you had "India?" Where did India come from?

There are heaps of Fidler's in VIC and in Tassie:eek:

Wonder if a look up for births in VIC would show anything :confused:

Vic. BMD still down.

I will check - HERE

Back in 2003 but I've not checked if the email address is dead or not.

Well, I have now decided to click on the father's name. :D

Kay is not listed. "Rosabel "Aunty Kay" never married." :2fun:


Step-sister - Dorothy Watson Jones

We can make more progress now. :2fun:

We will have to work on this some more and get someone to check 1911. :)

This one and not the one living in Derbyshire in 1911 was born in Derbyshire:

FIDLER CHARLES 1873 38 Ecclesall Bierlow Yorkshire West Riding

Occupation would be interesting.

I didn't believe the tree. I've seen too many errors in those trees. :eek:

Well, yes. Good thing you asked.

I googled "Charles William Fidler" and only got one in America.

We can check the deaths in NSW. I noticed it had no death for Kay.

Charles died young but it does not say where or when. Neither of these so perhaps he died in India.

Deaths Mar 1908
Fidler Charles 0 Stockport 8a 28
Deaths Jun 1908
FIDLER Charles 65 Wokingham 2c 226

Marriages Jun 1904
Fidler Charles William Prestwich 8d 698
Jones Christina Robertson Prestwich 8d 698 ** 2nd marriage

Births Mar 1905
Fidler Rosabel Catherine Chorlton 8c 776

I have chosen SMH and 8 Feb 1954 and I get zero hits for fidler or charles or william or deaths...

I got to Tuesday 9th and then hit the < to go to previous issue then found the death on page 16.

I got there in the end.
